Patent Application forms

Patents Forms information from
USTPO.gov

Due to the enactment of the America Invents Act on September
16, 2011, the USPTO now has two separate forms pages, one page
containing forms for patent applications filed on or after
September 16, 2012, and one containing forms for patent
applications filed before September 16, 2012. Please click the
appropriate hyperlink below to access the applicable patent
forms for your patent application.

Please note the following:

Some forms may appear on both pages.

For patent applications filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a), the
actual filing date, and not an earlier effective filing date
based on one more more domestic benefit claims, is used to
determine which forms should be used.

For applications entering the national stage under 35 U.S.C.
371, the international filing date of the international
application is used to determine which forms should be used.
